It has been some time since I last blogged about my happenings. Mainly because I haven't gotten my internet installed and they're only coming on 5th jan. OMG. So I have to live with sucky internet connection that I've been piggy-backing on others for the next few days!
So....
My apartment so far is great!
Got my bills all set up for electricity and gas...next up if for the cable tv and internet! Whee! With the first bill i receive that is under my name, i can apply for the washington ID! Of course, the washington ID is like that of a driving license, it's valid like a passport so when you travel interstate you won't have to bring your passport! :) So convenient!
Work has been real exciting. Oh well, to a certain extent! We've got some serious cases that involved the police as well. Well it's America?! What do you expect? But like I mentioned before, everyone's is real nice and friendly, and i admit i've made quite a number of mistakes...so it's quite embarrassing too :( especially when i'm working at the back as a "at your service agent" and i talk too fast or too incoherently that i can't even understand myself sometimes. ARGH! Need to practise more!
"Good (time of the day), thank you for calling the Seattle Airport Marriott. How may I direct your call?"
Just this sentence is enough to tangle my tongue! O_O
Oh, I've discovered a new hobby of mine - grocery shopping! WHEE!!!! food food and more food!
Seriously, with the money i get, i'm gona spend it most on grocery shopping. Besides, the stuff here are so bloody expensive! I just went to this local japanese supermart called Uwajimaya, and may i say i had to refrain myself from getting a whole bunch of stuff for the following reasons:
1. I have no car
2. The prices are real expensive! (E.g: 1 packet of SHIN Ramen costs USD 1.10) (oh yea, i know it's about the same in Swiss but it's still ex!!!!)
I think I'll wait for kel to come then ask him to rent a car for a day then we can go grocery shopping! muaahahahaah :)
Anyway it's the new years in 30 min and i'm gona wait for my roomie to come home so we can count down together! yea!!!
and I've got work on 1st jan at 6.45AM OMG.
Sigh, this year has been by far the most eventful so far! I've been to... 5 countries in 1 year! and stayed in 2 countries for an extended period of time!
1. Swiss (1st jan - mid jun)
2. Italy (during my stay in swiss)
3. Malaysia (with parents for hols)
4. Taiwan (transit for 4 days before heading to the US)
5. Seattle - Home for the next year and half!
Phew! What a year! Hopefully this year (yes! it's 12.19am now!) will be better!
Take care all,
I wish you all the best and success in this very exciting year!
